Thanks for sharing these!

And yeah, on close read, you'll see that they're all trying to communicate that you can't assume that the vultures are circling a carcass whenever you see them circling because they have other behaviors that involve circling as well. But it's an easy detail to miss in some of them for sure!
Really would like some metrics or survey results for that.
Get peer review and publish; let’s see what happens.
Use secret llama in a incognito window. Turn off the Internet and close the window when done.
Sure, but I can easily put an installer on a NAS (or on whatever media I use for long-term storage) and keep it there. Properly archiving a website and making sure it works offline is another story: sometimes it is relatively simple, sometimes there are requests on backend servers and you'd have to reimplement whatever the backend is doing, and it can get a real pain to do.
I was disagreeing more with your second sentence, however as for the lingering, I also disagree. I have a couple contractors who were working in my warehouse and smoking skunk weed the whole time. (I know, I know, but they do good work.) The smell was gone the next day.

But you smoke a cigarette in an enclosed space and I’ll still smell it in a couple days. I think it must be the tar and other additives, and now I kind of want to find someone who smokes natural tobacco to come do it and see if I’m right.
I currently have a project with ORNL OLCF (on Frontier).
The short answer is yes. Happy to answer any questions I can.
Just a small thing about bikes being “harder” to maintain than they used to be. I really think they’re not! I tried to take the back wheel off a friend’s old mountain bike and realised it’s waaaay more complicated to take apart than a modern QR skewer or thru-axle. The only real fiddly bit is if you bought internal cable routing but that’s only really on mid-to-upper tier bikes. Even then, a modern frame is easier to route than a 10-year-old frame (speaking from experience!)

Don’t be deterred from learning it for yourself!
Android is why I use Google Keep. There's lots of features I wish it has, but ultimately the important one for me is that I can take a note any time with no delay or waiting for apps to load
Low-hanging fruit depletion is a problem, but there are ways of dealing with it:

- A larger number of people searching for the next Newtonian apple all over the place.

- A smaller number of larger groups that pursue a narrow area with intense focus. That’s more like “work” though.

- New areas. Especially software. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple were created by tinkerers with the privilege of free time. This process did not yet stop.

To your other point, not every idle person will pursue new knowledge. And that's ok. A larger number of idle people will contain a larger number of tinkerers.
TSMC has moved many engineers from Taiwan to Phoenix. Entire towns were built with accomodation, schools, ethnic grocery stores from scratch. It would be interesting to see this initiative's cultural and economic impact on Phoenix in the years to come.

Show HN: I built a Vercel app to manage projects, deployments, logs, and pushes
Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on, developed using SwiftUI with TCA (PointFree Architecture). It's an app designed to streamline the management of Vercel projects, covering everything from deploys and logs to notifications and more.

Features include:

- Project Overview: Easily browse all your Vercel projects in one place.
- Deploy Management: Initiate deploys, and view deployment statuses and history.
- Log Access: Quick access to real-time logs for all your projects.
- Notifications: Stay updated with the latest changes and deploy statuses.

I'm planning to add more features based on your feedback, which is incredibly valuable to help shape this tool to best meet your needs. Please check it out on the App Store and visit our website for more details.

Do you manage Vercel projects? What features would make your life easier? I’d love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you have!

> The more complete and histocally evidenced rule is that all institutions eventually just work to continue and/or expand their existence in itself.

This isn’t more complete and historically evidenced. This is a Law Named After Person/Dilbert Quip, which is the pit of cliches that a lot of HN comments fall into on sociology.

What, other than just cynicism,[1] have these Stated Truisms contributed to? These rules are so rigid (so they can be pithy, snappy) that they sound immutable. Is the point only to, say, feel smug about how the manager directly above you has been promoted to his level of incompetence?

[1] Cynicism is fine and good. But just-cynicism has no way of moving beyond itself to a better state. The difference between critique and throwing your arms up.

> They can get founded in the genuine interests of some cause (and often are), but each transition in leadership tends to find itself more professionalized in some way and more divorced from the founding cause, with process (and/or corruption) becoming their effective mandate instead.

Nothing in history is ever just a downward spiral of corruption and rigidity. Outside things happen, revolts happen, things are replaced, systems are overturned.

Thanks and glad to hear! Our main goal was to _not_ try to make it "everything" and while still making it enjoyable to use. We'd appreciate any feedback once you do some testing.

Virus scanning user uploaded files always seemed like a very sensible thing to me.

I've used ClamAV before in web apps, and it was fairly easy to get working - but it has a few big flaws: it's very slow, it uses a huge amount of memory, and detection rates are... honestly, pretty terrible.

I've used Verisys Antivirus API for 2 recently projects, and it works great, a huge improvement over self-hosted ClamAV. There are a couple of other virus scan APIs available, including Scanii[1] which I think has been mentioned on HN before, and I Trend Micro has something too - but their pricing is secret, so I have to assume it's expensive.

I think the sharing features are the most interesting part to me.

Google Keep has extremely fast load times and an Android optimized UI, plus home screen widgets and Wear OS, so it would be hard to replace that for personal notetaking.

But very quick sharing and collaboration is still not quite a solved problem.
while that is true, and some of it is rational, other times it's just another stupid way people waste money and fuck up their projects. because even in a startup or a game there is code that people waste time debugging alone, or waiting for the one guy who knows it to get back from vacation, or out of bed

Myth or not, the poachers believe it and murder the vultures as a result.

I’ve worked with vultures at a raptor conservancy. They are social, curious and intelligent birds. I have very fond memories of an Egyptian vulture named Boe who would unfailingly undoe my shoelaces when I entered her aviary. I love these birds

That's the whole point of an illusion, yes. There are people who claim to have felt the presence of their own accidentally selected dirty or seen other creatures from their preferred mythology. Would you claim that their experience are genuine, that if they saw and felt the presence of mythical creatures, then these creatures must exist?

> The mechanism behind type 2 diabetes is well known and it's all about eating too much carbs.

No it's not.

From https://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/reversal/#bac...

"We now know that type 2 diabetes is caused by excess fat inside liver and pancreas.
...
The Twin Cycle Hypothesis described how it might be possible to explain the cause of type 2 diabetes in a very simple way.
...
It was clear from that time onwards that type 2 diabetes is caused by too much fat building up within the liver, then overspilling to the rest of the body - including the pancreas. This starts up a second vicious cycle inside the pancreas, with the fat actually switching off normal insulin production...One of the most important discoveries is that of the Personal Fat Threshold. Type 2 diabetes is not caused by ‘obesity’. Different people have different levels of tolerance of fat within liver and pancreas. But if you have type 2 diabetes, you have crossed your ‘personal fat threshold’.
APUs are very cool for GPU programming in general. Explicitly copying data to/from GPUs is a definite nuisance. I'm hopeful that the MI300A will have a positive knock on effect on the low power APUs in laptops and similar.

as others have argued, you do not need to replace the rice with equal amounts of more expensive vegetables. but you replace a small amount of rice with vegetables for the same value as you can afford it. of course it also helps if there is more support for growing the vegetables.

i am in a developing country now. what i have observed is that people here eat more than twice as much rice or other staple food in a meal than i do myself. i suspect that this is to make up for the lack of nutrients they could otherwise get from eating more vegetables.

Re: your last paragraph

I would say there's a mid-point somewhere between overworked 60-hour-a-week employees burning out and folks doing absolutely nothing productive. The nature and environment of work is important too, if you're tilling a farm there's an upper limit on your output, but with the internet anyone can be made to feel inadequate for not "hustling"/"grinding" enough.
> Or it may be nothing at all, and just something to track, which is why you never base any medical decisions off a single test.
What is true:

The labor isnt valuable thus cannot be billed and needs to be taken via taxes. It also means that whatever people are doing in residency, they don't need residency for. Licensure bullshit.

The labor is valuable and doesnt need to be taken via taxes.

I do wonder if the problem is not enough, or too much idleness.

Isaac Newton is regarded as a genius, but he worked on really basic stuff like calculus and Newtonian mechanics. Of course it was harder, when he and his competitors were inventing it.

Sure, we handle more complex stuff now. But modern highschool material used to be really complex. Eventually theory, frameworks, language, and pedagogy, develop around a field that make it look deceptively simple. That’s still incrementalism but incrementation comes from the next generation that grew up in an environment where our discoveries are table stakes.

Is it possible that you no longer live in a simple world, because you’ve become an expert, and moved on from ingesting the refined model from the previous generation, to either applying the current unrefined model to the hardest problems it can handle, or to building the model for the next generation?
This project did start off as a way for me to learn how Rustc works, but there are legitimate use cases (and I have been approached by people interested in using it).

The main goal of the project is allowing people to easily use existing Rust libraries from .NET. I want people to be able to use Rust libs in .NET without even knowing they were written in Rust.

Besides the main compiler part, the project also comes with a tightly integrated interop layer. While it is not finished yet, it allows you to do things like holding references to C# classes in standard Rust code. The compiler will also be able to verify your Rust/.NET interop code, ensuring it is safe and reliable.

So, someone can take, for example a Rust ML framework or a Rust physics engine, define a few .NET classes and methods (fully in Rust!) and ship a portable .NET assembly for people to use.

Since Rust manages memory explicitly, the GC will have less work to do, reducing pauses and speeding execution up. Rust code also heavily uses the stack, making it more cache-friendly.

From my benchmarks, the Rust on .NET is faster than C#, but slower than native code.

So, the overall idea is to provide an easy way to write safe .NET libraries, which are faster than existing ones, and are as convenient to use as the existing solutions.

If you have any questions regarding the project, feel free to ask :)!

I need 6-4 hours of sleep a day, and adds tremendous time other people don’t have. Back when I was learning to program I was constantly learning to program while working at my secondary employer and reflecting on how to do better when driving from San Antonio to Dallas. Those saved me a lot of time too. If work was slow at the primary employer I was working in side projects which also saved a lot of time. If I needed more time still I would volunteer (or voluntold) for a military deployment to Afghanistan.

I never seemed to have trouble finding extra time, and I did have a family through all of this.
It's not a terrible idea... This doesn't "trust" the client, it just interprets the data that the client sent as an array of pixel values. In a memory safe language (e.g. JS, C#, Go, Rust, ...), that would make it basically impossible to pwn: the worst thing an attacker could do is upload an arbitrary image.

> However, with more insurance companies pulling out of the California market or limiting coverage recently due largely to the elevated risks of natural disasters, some homeowners may have no other option.

Elevated risk of natural disasters is half the story. The other half is that California won't let insurance companies price their plans based on risk, which in the face of said natural disasters gives them really only one option—withdraw [0]. It's pretty misleading of TFA to leave that important context out.

From KCRA:

> Unlike most states, California tightly restricts how insurance companies can price policies. Companies aren't allowed to factor in current or future risks when deciding how much to charge for an insurance policy. Instead, they can only consider what's happened in the past on a property to set the price.

Same, I don't think we can lump all different personas and natures into one bucket. Some people thrive, and enjoy doing, building, learning, and not staying in one place. Others enjoy sitting, relaxing, doing little, introspection, etc. It really depends on the individual, each has their own areas that give them meaning and joy.

That sounds like a lot of hassle. It used to be Linux that you had to tinker with but nowadays you can find distros that are easier to setup (Zorin). I installed it for my parents and they like it more than new version of Windows. I have some qualms about MacOS but if you have the money it's much saner experience. The only reason to run Win nowadays is gaming.

I was never some Unix snob, up until Win 7 I was a happy camper. Today I would not accept a job that would force me to work on Win machine.

Ask HN: What Software, Streaming services and Apps have Geographical pricing
Norway. At least most buildings where people live. That’s not exactly the same statement that most people live in wood buildings, since more people can live in a single concrete block. But I would venture that at least half the population lives in wooden buildings.
If one works in a field where there is already an issue of abundance, which is (nowadays) basically any field that produce information, it's better for the society to produce less, but higher quality, more meaningful work. Of course, it is hard to do so because the incentives are against it.

> A carbless diet does not seem well rounded, and is thus unhealthy.

Why “thus”. Just saying that lacking something is not well rounded thus unhealthy just looks some sort of middle of the road fallacy.

Diets that are not about calorie restrictions are all about excluding certain things. And they all claim to be better than the potentially more versatile middle of the road diet.
